Multiple values - mvexpand not doing what I expect

dbcase
Motivator

Hi ,

I have a query that looks like this

earliest=-100hr index=blahalarm STATUS=readyArmed OR STATUS=ready OR STATUS=notReady|mvexpand notReady|mvexpand ready|mvexpand readyArmed|mvexpand _time|timechart span=1hr values(field2) by STATUS

but the resulting dataset comes back as this. I'm confused, why wouldn't mvexpand create multiple events?

FIxed it. My data was coming in with 15min increments but my span=1hr, once I set my span to 15min all is well

Doesn't the final timechart span=1h bring the events back into 1h buckets? The result looks like what I'd expect. Can you say more about what you're trying to achieve?
